Main Advantages
• Deployment of PV plants on existing reservoirs that saves land space / land acquisition / land preparation costs
• Better yield due to the cooling effect of the water
• Limited evaporation of the water under the plant

Main Challenges
• Anchoring has to be designed according to extreme wind loads, water depth, water flow, water level variations, waves, etc.
• Logistics can be consequent
• Environmental impact still poorly documented

Trend: Hydropower / Floating Solar Power
Many advantages:• Electrical infrastructure• Dry season = high solar irradiation• Support day-time peak load for evening
peaks• PV variability compensated by fast-
responding turbines• Increased generation for same water
flow
